Good, Bad, & Ugly

Day 8 of homeownership:

It’s a stretch to find something to call ‘good.’ But it’s also difficult to differentiate between the bad and the ugly.

While most things are still being taken apart, some parts of the house are in various stages of being put back together and very few actually look like something you’d recognize as part of a livable house. One bright spot in the mess is the coat closet.


I thought swapping out this powder room vanity for a pedestal sink would be the simplest of jobs.


Wrong. There was a 12-inch HVAC vent pipe routed through the vanity.


Now for the ugly: In order to open up the kitchen wall, we needed to take out what may or may not have been some supporting posts and re-route some plumbing. Dad ran out of 3" PVC ell and until we get it, we can’t run water down the drains, except for the kitchen sink which he rigged so we could at least brush our teeth.


Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. That's a bit of tape joining one pipe to another.
